It's very hit-or-miss in my experience. Some vending machines are immaculate, but the exact same type of machine by the same owner e.g. at another station can have their glass broken, have chewing gum put into it's mechanism for w

In Germany, Firefox was the most commonly used browser by a huge margin until 2016, when it was overtaken by Chrome[1] - it still has 11% market share (20% on the desktop) compared to the ~3% in the US or world-wide. Those German ad campai

Have to disagree on that for non-english books. libgen / z-lib aren't always amazing for those, in my experience. The local library is the other way around, almost no english content, but plenty in my native tongue. The library al

At least for me, the Android app is completely free - all seasons have the pricetag "FREE". Is the need for in-app purchases geofenced or something? I'm not complaining, it's just a bit strange. :D

ChatGPT is wrong here, IMO. In general, the Brits were the "Tommys" or "Briten" or "Engländer", the Americans the "Amerikaner" or just "Amis", the Soviets were "Bolschewiken" or ju

Browser attestation only works if the OS is attestated, though. It has to be an unbroken chain of signed blobs from the TPM / boot loader to the browser - otherwise, you could just use e.g. a kernel driver to modify the behavior of a s

Probably addresses distributed by IANA directly before RIPE (and RIRs in general) existed[1]. I don't know if they actually cannot be revoked by RIPE (or ARIN or someone else), though. [1] https://www.ripe.net/manage-ip

The idea behind this proposal is what I feared the moment remote attestation(-ability) started to gain traction on clients. Google will arguably kill legacy SafetyNet (which is circumventable, as it's not rooted in hardware) soon. Micr

I would say it's more Softbanks fault[1] in this case - NTT DoCoMo's and KDDI's Emoji was clearly pouting IMO, Softbanks was... more angry-ish? Especially the earlier, pre-2008 versions. [1] https://emojipedia.org&

The pricing structure is now quite incomparable to most other registrars, e.g. .dev, .de and .cyou now all cost the same 24 Euros / year, which appears to be their new price floor now. 24 Euros for .de, one of the cheapest ccTLDs, is

One thing you have to be aware is that there are many hosters (like e.g. Hetzner, which is excellent otherwise IMO) who will drop you like a hot potatoe (i.e. blackhole your server in the best case, terminate your account in the worst) if t

> I see it listed at EUR 402/month Ah, true, I calculated with the (cheaper) yearly price. It is indeed more expensive if you don't pay the whole 4,339 Euros / year at once.

Not GP, but you have e.g. Brocken and Cologne as targets, but the former is (the summit of) a mountain, the latter a city. A categorization of the destinations (maybe based on wiki voyage metadata?) may be a good addition for your very nice
